HIGH NOWHERE was published by IDP in late 2023, and has been reviewed as follows:

– on Matthew Stewart’s poetry blog ‘Rogue Strands‘ – ‘I dare you to finish reading this book and emerge indifferent to the role of humans in the plight of the Earth. That’s the mark of Atkin’s success.’

-an interview with Jean Atkin on Sarah James’ series ‘In The Booklight’ – ‘such a beautiful, moving and magical collection of poems, [with a] stunning cover and striking black and white images inside’

– on Kathryn Anna Marshall’s Substack – ‘This is a collection that commands attention.’

– on The Friday Poem, reviewed by Maggie MacKay – ‘Atkin creates imaginary landscapes, in which she evokes both the tragedy of our individual experiences of climate change and, in equal measure, our joy at being alive. A journey to Iceland during the Covid era forms the central part of the collection, and much emphasis is placed on the magnificence and power of icebergs, fjords and volcanoes, which here represent a combination of beauty and danger, as well as a symbol for how planet Earth has become destabilised. The poet’s own black and white photographs add a further dimension to the storytelling.’

– an interview with Jean Atkin on Paul Brookes’ series on the Wombwell Rainbow (then scroll down) – ‘Great to interview Jean Atkin about her stunning poetry collection “High Nowhere“‘.
